Ecclesiastes 4:7-9
New International Version - UK
7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:
8 there was a man all alone;
he had neither son nor brother.
There was no end to his toil,
yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
‘For whom am I toiling,’ he asked,
‘and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?’
This too is meaningless –
a miserable business!
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labour:
